A vulnerability has been found in GNU Binutils 2.43 and classified as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is the function __sanitizer::internal_strlen of the file binutils/nm.c of the component nm. The manipulation of the argument const leads to buffer overflow. The attack can be launched remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow.
